The second one-shot of the Guy/Luke. If you don't like then what are you doing here? I'm not sure how to make a summary for this one so you'll just have to read to find out, sorry. Plus if I did say anything, it might give everything away.

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah we all know, I don't own anything, the characters belong to Namco.

Guy groaned, he couldn't understand it or anything that was happening at all. What had he done to make Luke this upset? Had he accidentally said something to upset him or maybe he didn't do something right? Usually the red head would bounce back to his usual attitude and join back into the crowd but after so many days had passed, there seemed to no such process of that actually happening. His mind ran over it multiple times until his head began to ache from a headache and he still didn't get an answer out of it. He glanced to the side, eyeing the red head replica with a worried gaze. The royal seemed very careful in avoiding him at all costs, it seemed as if he didn't want to talk things out and fix the problem. Guy wanted to know what was wrong but whenever Luke caught him in sight, he shot away as if he was unable to be in his presence. He sighed, he couldn't even get any alone time with the replica at all since he was hardly left by himself.

Jade looked as if he knew something Guy didn't, smiling off with that superior gaze, some how making Guy's thoughts run wild. It seemed that the man was always on top of things and that grinning face only proved it especially when Jade looked like he was about to laugh whenever he saw him. The females hadn't notice it yet though, not even Anise who would usually be on top of these types of things but did notice the strange sensation between the two. The air between them was thick like a fog and she could feel a couple of sparks emitting from inside.

The smallest of the group trotted over to Guy but not too close due to his phobia. Her pigtails bounced at each step with the toy weapon hanging off her back like a backpack. "Hey, Guy is something going on between you two? Did you two get into a fight or something?"

The blond sighed, he didn't know but he wanted to know. Things were just too complicated right now with Van and the tension between the two was only making things worse. Guy sighed again, looks like he was going to have to confront it with the replica seeing as Luke was a bit shy in this kind of thing. But that seemed to be the problem didn't it? How was he suppose to deal with someone who refused be near him? He turned to Anise for a moment then groaned to him self, raising a hand to his head, scratching the blond locks. How was he supposed to explain it too? "I'm not really sure. He just started doing it all of a sudden."

"Then why don't you talk to him to get things straighten out?"

Guy sighed for the third time that day; he was planning on doing just that later when he managed to get the red head driven into a corner. Whenever he neared him, Luke would run for it as if knowing what it is already about. "Already tried that."

The town they were heading to, Sheridan was right in front, the gates wide open as if welcoming them. The group entered glancing around the area then split up, the girls heading straight to the inn, complaining about smelling horrible after that long walk while the guys wandered the area separate from each other. They could have gone on the Albiore ll to get here but there were some problems with it like the fuel was low and had to leave it at the port. Guy strolled around without any destination, his feet moving on their own when his mind didn't bother telling which direction to travel. The town was crowded, people filled the streets; the small spaces were being squeezed out. Groceries of every kind littered the sides, people screaming out prices and what they sold over the numerous voices. His aqua pools scanned the place searching for the one person he needed to talk to but the replica was no where in sight. He found it annoying with all the noise and sauntered away, getting away from the screaming. Guy came up to an alleyway, empty and deserted with small rodents and insects scourging the area, searching out food. The place looked like it was in a ruin, parts of the building was falling off and a dense odor covered the field. Guy found the place too dirty to breath in and started heading out to the ocean by wandering through the pathways. The sound of waves crashing against the surface and rocks reached his ears. He followed it until the wonderful view of the scene came before him; the water was sparkling like a diamond in the sun light in front. The large ball of fire was setting in the distance making the sky turn into different colors and shades, covering the heavens and even reflected its radiance off the ocean. Plus it was peaceful, there was hardly a single person out since it was midday. The voices of the people were gone and the headache that had been forming was now fading into a dull ache.

Guy glanced around, looking for anyone familiar and spotted the one person he needs to speak to the most, Luke. He was just standing there staring out into the distance with a blank expression. Quietly he went over, not making a sound as he stepped, watching his feet and the being in front of him. Guy took one last step; he was right behind almost to the point where he could be breathing down the neck. The replica didn't notice the familiar presence behind until it was too late to avoid the meeting.

"Luke!" Guy called out, his voice penetrating the stillness of the atmosphere.

There was a visible flinch from the shorter one and instantly turned, stuttering. His eyes widened in fear, mouth gaping open in shock. "G-Guy?"

Guy came closer, insuring that Luke wouldn't be able to escape. Making sure that he covered all the spaces, he let his arms go to the side just in case he needed to react fast if the replica decided to run for it. "I've been looking for you all over the place."

"Is that so?" The replica tilted his head, nervous and fidgeting, his tone betraying him. He glanced away, calming back down to his normal state but his eyes contracted that. "Um…I have to go-"

"You're not going anywhere until I get some answers from you." He moved forward, leaving no space for Luke to leave unless the replica decided to jump off the cliff and into the waiting water below. Guy folded his arms glaring at his friend with a stern look. "Now tell me why you've been avoiding me? Did I do something to upset you? If I did, just tell me, I can fix it."

Luke shaked his head, there was no way he could lie out of this one. He was a terrible liar, after all, and Guy could read him like a book. "No, that's not it; none of it is your fault."

"Then what?"

"Well…that's." Luke whispered bunching his hands together, he didn't want to say it just yet, fear of being rejected. "Um…" He pulled it off, browsing everywhere for an escape. He didn't want to say it, especially right now, he wasn't ready yet but it seemed like he had a choice.

"Luke." The blond said firmly, his patience running thin.

Luke closed his eyes, trying to dig up some courage from inside his soul. He took a deep breath, then out, his shoulders slumping downward. Guy stood there, his gaze still on its spot, eyeing Luke with precision. Before Guy knew it, a pair of lips was against his own. He stopped moving hands wide open in mid air, a foot away from the body in front. His mind crashed at the mere touch, his body tensing up by instinct. The light kiss was soft and sweet but was gone the next moment, leaving almost no trace that it had ever happened. Guy's eyes widen not in fear but in shock even as Luke turned, running for it not even glancing back to see what Guy's reaction would be. The pitter-patter of his feet was rushed with the shadow attached to his legs, following him right behind. He disappeared into the distance, the white coat tails flapping wildly in the wind as he ran. To the blond, the face on the back of the coat seemed to be smiling at him and laughing at the same time, remaining him of someone he knows. The ocean's waves seemed to have stopped for the moment; there was no sound just the deep breathing from the blond. Guy remained still, a single hand reaching up to his lips, touching them, the feeling still lingering there. It was a burning sensation that hadn't left him yet, fueling the fire inside his heart.

"I would go after him if I were you." A voice called out from behind a tree, a clear sound cutting through the silence. The galadios twisted around, a hand going for his sword, ready for battle. It sounded amused by the looks of it and familiar too. "Now, now there's no need to concern your self with me." Jade stepped out from behind, rising up his glasses with one finger. His red eyes pierced the blond with some sort of sarcastic humor. The long brown hair was loosely hanging, draping itself over the shoulder with a few of the bangs falling into the eyes.

A blush went across the face, both in embarrassment and that he was still thinking about the kiss. He tried to hide that feeling away by questioning the necromancer. "J-Jade, you didn't-"

"See that, just now? Why yes I did." Jade strolled closer, his arms behind his back looking proud and tall. "Now you should follow my 'once in a life time' advice and go after him before he starts thinking of all those horrible thoughts about you." He sent off a smile, eyes closed shut and leaned forward almost as if he was putting pressure to the younger one. Some of the bangs fell over; more did when he tilted his head. The blond backed away in fear, his mouth nervously twitching. Jade drew back, opening his ruby pools, edging Guy forward.

"O-Oh right." Guy turned heading the same direction as Luke hoping that he could catch up. He was some ways behind and it seemed that the red head had disappeared into the city. His heart was beating fast; he wasn't sure if it was from the running or if it was the kiss Luke had given him.

Behind, Jade sighed, shaking his head with a hand on top and eyes closed. Guy was just too dense in this sort of thing and strange enough it was Luke who figured it out first. The necromancer turned, the two twin tails twirled at the movement and strolled away down the opposite direction. As he took a few steps forward he decided to go against that, he was slightly interested on how this might all turn out; after all it could be fun. His ruby pools had a strange glitter in them as he did a 180 turn and followed after the two, taking his precious time. He had a playful smile on his lips as he went to interrupt the little romantic moment. The wind danced through his hair, and offered a sign of hope for them, something he didn't do very often. "Good luck to you both."

Guy rounded the next corner of the building, his body twisting along the sharp turns, quickly catching up with the replica that was just up a head. He had almost forgotten that his specialty was in speed and agility and quickly used that to his advantage, gaining distance. He noticed that Luke refused to look behind to see how close Guy had gotten even when he knew that the red head could tell that he was being followed. Guy picked up the pace, hoping that the royal wouldn't do something drastic just to get away. He called out; his hand outstretched just a few feet behind, trying to reach out to him. "Luke, stop!"

The blond expressed his surprise as the red head did indeed halt. It was so sudden that Guy almost feared that he might have ran into him but didn't. Guy went to the other side so he would be facing Luke and held a grip on the shoulder. Luke gazed downward towards the floor, unable to look up at his crush.

"Luke?" Guy sighed, it was somewhat his fault; he should have noticed it earlier and perhaps along time ago. Though his heart was beating fast, he was able to stay and speak calmly almost seemingly natural. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what? That I like you?" The replica almost snapped but his voice was still mellow, the older one could sense that there was a little fear in it. The emerald pools glanced away, searching the area for any other life forms that might be wandering the enclosed place. They had run into an abandoned part of the town where not many people hanged around.

"Yes, that. I would have listened."

"To a love confession?" He raised an eyebrow, a smile breaking on his crestfallen expression. Luke couldn't help but find some humor to it, that meant that it was perfectly natural to Guy to get a love confession. "Okay that's just making me jealous."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"That's alright then. I would have…" Guy didn't know what to do; his mind was still recovering from the blank state after that one kiss. His thoughts couldn't help but wonder as he stared, everything he had said was just him winging it. "I might have even allowed you to love me."

This one statement made Luke's eyebrows tilt downward, something inside him snapped. "Allowed?" Luke grinded his teeth; that wasn't what he wanted to hear, it was even worse than being rejected. His fists crunched together in rage, tears were starting to well up in his eyes, formed from both his fury and sorrow. "What the hell are you talking about? Allowed? You're allowing me to fall in love with you but not to be loved back? That's sick!"

Okay maybe Guy didn't say that right seeing as how it just went. He tried defending himself from the raging red head, backing away slightly trying to give Luke some space. "No, no that's not what I meant! Believe me!" The expression on Luke's face didn't change; it looked like it got even worse. Guy almost sighed in frustration especially at his big mouth for saying something so stupid. 'Looks like I'll have to do it. Oh well this should be good.'

Guy leaned forward, pushing Luke forward to touch the body. Their lips connected, this time Guy reacted driving deeper than the replica had done. He didn't stop until he heard Luke moan into the kiss, wanting more. The Galadios pulled back, gasping for breath, he had no clue as to what he had just done, but it felt good. That was all he needed to know. Pushed on by mere lust, he did it again driving his tongue into the inner cave and wrapping his arms around the smaller body. The left hand reached up into the silky red hair gripping it and pushed the head upward so he could get a better reach. The blue eyes were closed shut lost in the kiss, even Luke was following right behind wrapping his own around the older man. He held Guy from the shoulder since he was shorter, his fingernails digging into the clothes but the ferocity between the two didn't falter. When a breath of air was needed, they let go at the same time, red and flustered.

Luke was the first one to speak, muttering the first word that came to mind. "Wow."

"Y-Yeah." Guy pulled back his hands scratching the top of his head. The two stared at each other lost in their own thoughts. Either was willing to speak up their minds, still stuck on the kiss as if it was amazingly wonderful or something.

"Bravo!" The clapping of hands broke the two away instantly.

Guy was the first one to react with a yep, twisting around to meet the person. He froze on the spot, mouth slightly open in shock. The one person he'd least expect was standing right in front of the entrance. "Jade?!"

"My, wasn't that a passionate kiss just now." The red eyed man grinned, smiling at the two. His brown hair shifted a little from the weak breeze that blew by some what covering whatever expression he was hiding underneath it. His arms came down, folding themselves across his chest. "So you've finally gotten together, congratulations. So when's the marriage date?"

"J-Jade!" Guy's face deepened in color, the side of his mouth twitched and he was waving his arms trying to make a point. "What the hell are you doing here? And what do you mean by marriage!?"

"Oh my, no need to yell, I'm an old man after all. And to answer your question, I just happened to be passing by when I say two very familiar people making out here." Jade placed his hands into the pockets and tilted his head to the right. Some more of the brown strains fell over into the face but that didn't seem to bother the necromancer. He took a few steps closer eyeing them both with his sharp eyes. Jade sang in a sing-song tone, eyes wandering over them both. "You're both bright red."

Luke's blush deepened and stuttered out some unknown words, glancing away. Guy gulped worried about what might happen next, after all, he doesn't know what Jade might do in this type of situation. He eyed the older man with his eyes silted smaller like they were trying to stare into the necromancer's soul. But of course that wasn't helping since the only person that could understand Jade was Emperor Peony himself. "Are you going to tell the others?"

"Nope, of course not. Where's the fun in doing that?" Jade's smile hadn't even faltered the least, remaining plastered permanently on his face. He made glimpse behind to the sky, seeing that the sun was already three fourths set behind. "And would you look at the time, it's probably time for dinner." It seemed that the red faced men behind him only humored Jade farther than before. Oh was he having fun today. "Now, come on chop, chop. We don't need the girls to start thinking of unusual things, now do we? Especially Anise, who loves to think up such wonderful stuff."

Luke and Guy sighed in defeat, when it came to fighting Jade, they might as well throw the towel in an absolute trounce. As Jade started sauntering off, the others followed behind like a pair of lowly dogs, staying as close to each other as possible but behind so that Jade couldn't see them. Guy leaned over, putting his hand up in front of Luke's ear. "I think he actually did this on purpose, you know, to get our feelings out."

Luke did the same action, ruby pools watching Jade carefully. "I think so too."

"You two have no idea." Jade interrupted the little conversation with a sharp comment.

They groaned in sync, tilting their heads downward to the floor. The rest of the walk went by quietly, the two newfound lovers unable to have a decent chat to talk things out; perhaps it was the downside of having a special being as Jade in their little group. All Jade did was tilt his head upward towards the sky and hum to himself, yes, today had been fun, more than he could imagine.

This one took me awhile to do, it was hard to make Jade himself, his personality is just so complicated but so fun to do.
